your home tonight. that is it for this "special report," fair, balanced and unafraid. "special report" online starts right now. if you haven't been, check it out. >> shepard: this is the fox report. tonight, raging at rowling stone -- rolling stone after the magazine put the glamour shot of the boston bomber on its cover. major stores say they will take it off their shelves. boston shows its strength. >> why would you glorify a guy who created mayhem in >> it's despicable. >> when did rolling stone magazine turn into terrorist beat? >> rolling stone responds. deciphering your medical bills. they are often incorrect and written in a language most folks don't

understand. now, we'll show you the secret codes on your bills and how to find out exactly what they mean plus, struck by lightning while standing in a supermarket checkout line. >> it hit right through like the top of my head, down my spine. >> shepard: tonight, a woman gets the shock of a lifetime. but first from fox this wednesday night. he is accused of carrying out a terrorist attack in boston, killing and injuring hundreds of innocent people. and now the suspected marathon bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev is on the cover of rolling stone. a magazine that usually features rock stars and cultural icons. the caption on rolling cone's cover refers to tsarnaev as a promising popular student who became a monster. despite that folks in boston and beyond say they are furious. >> it's despicable. he now is going to be the

poster boy for all young kids who read rolling stone magazine. >> the editor says it's because of their young readers that they made this decision. they released a statement that reads in part: the fact that dzhokhar tsarnaev is young and in the same age group as many of our readers makes it it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens. the editors say their hearts go out to the boston marathon victims. some stores are promising they won't carry this magazine and some critics are calling for boycotts. in boston, a city where the scars with still fresh from that awful day in april, tears for the victims are turning to cries for anger. trace gallagher is on fox top story live for us this evening. an officer wounded in a shootout with the boston bombers is among those now criticizing the cover. >> yeah, the officer, shep, is richard donahue. he works for the boston metro transit system. he was shot and wounded in the leg during that shootout and he lost a lot of blood, spent two months

in the hospital, still walks with crutches as you see and has not yet returned to work. he was asked for a statement about the rolling stone cover. he responded by saying, quoting here, my family and i were personally affected by these individuals' actions. i cannot and do not condone the cover of the magazine, which is thoughtless at best. however, i appreciate our country's protection of free speech afforded to us by the constitution. i am confident that our boston strong community will remain intrepid and unshaken by the cover of this magazine. others in boston were not quite as diplomatic. listen. >> i think that's horrible that he is being publicized like that. he shouldn't be. that's horrible. >> that's for people who are in the public eye and doing good things. he didn't do a very good thing, did he? >> yeah. the mayor of boston put it even more bluntly saying this is nothing more than disgraceful. shep? >> shepard: the list of stores that representatives say don't plan to carry

this issue seem to be growing. >> yeah. after getting reaction from its customers, walgreen's, the drugstore chain pulled it off its shelves for next month as did cvs and we learned that rite aid also pulled it off. as a company with deep roots in new england and strong presence in boston, we believe this is the right decision out of respect for the victims of the attack and their loved ones. we have also learned the stop and shop grocery chain has pulled the magazine as has the food stores. today the ceo was on "your world." >> one of our stores is actually located between the two blast sites. so we have employees that were fortunately not hurt but certainly affected and we have a lot of customers that will carry scars with them for a long time. you know, some would argue that this is really about censorship, not at all. this is about felipe. it's about felipe with the first responders and the people affected by this tragic event.

>> we should note that all of the stores will go back to selling rolling stone magazine come this september issue. shep? >> shepard: trace, many of our viewers know rolling stone is no stranger to controversy. one of the most recent problems happened just a few years ago when the magazine published an article on general stanley mcchrystal while he was the top commander in the war in afghanistan. that article depicted general mcchrystal mocking president obama and members of his administration and general mcchrystal resigned less than two days later. four of the six jurors who found george zimmerman not guilty of murdering trayvon martin say they are not on board with the first public comments from another juror. remember, just two days after the verdict came in, that juror known to us as b-37' gave gave her thoughts to cnn's anderson cooper. she says she believed zimmerman's heart was in the right place until things just went terribly wrong. well, now four other jurors have put out a statement, part of it reads: the opinions of juror b-37 expressed on the anderson

cooper show were her own and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below. of course, there were six jurors in total. so far no response from juror b-29. an hispanic mother of 8. today the sheriff's office revealed that even though the six women were sequestered. family and friends could still visit them on weekends as long as they did case. the jury took supervised trips to the mall, a bowling alley, fourth of july restaurants, including outback steak house. jonathan serrie is live naacp convention in orlando where this case took center stage. it seems like this case took a toll on these jurors? >> tonight the seminole county sheriff's office released estimates on how much money it spent housing, feeding and entertaining the jurors while they were sequestered over the course of this trial. $33,000 is the estimate. and while their physical needs were met, the trial itself was an ordeal, according to that written statement by the four jurors. they write: quote:

serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us. the death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end, we did what the law required us to do. >> shepard: more big names, jonathan, are weighing in on the verdict. >> that's right. hillary rodham clinton expressing sympathy authority family of trayvon martin. stevie wonder saying he won't perform in the sunshine state until florida resindz its stand your ground law here at the naacp convention civil rights, heavy weights from reverend jesse jackson, martin luther king iii call for the law's repeal. holder suggested stand your ground may escalate confrontation. today the white house made clear to reporters the president feels the debate should be held at the state level. >> it's a component of what we are saying now about actions that states could take to look at the laws on their books and evaluate

them against the standard, which is are these laws improving or making worse the situation with regards to gun violence? >> and the nra weighed in on all of this saying that self-defense is not a concept but a basic human right. shep? >> shepard: jonathan serrie in orlando. jonathan, a live look near where you are in orlando where police estimate hundreds of people plan to attend what they're calling a march against gun violence. and for a second day today, dozens of protesters holding a sit-in at the office of florida's governor rick scott in the capital of tallahassee. they say they plan to stay until the governor calls a special session to reevaluate the stand your ground law there were more rallies across southern california as well. these were largely peaceful, compared to it a few of the violent confrontations between activists and police that happened on monday night: and today a guilty verdict in a different trial. one that has well a few things in common with the

zimmerman case. a jury in milwaukee today convicted 76-year-old john spooner of killing an unarmed black teenager. a 13-year-old whom the gunman suspected of stealing his guns. the boy was simply taking out the trash when the killer gunned him down. prosecutors showed the jury surveillance video of that shooting. and now the trial shifts to a second phase in which the defense is to try to prove that the shooter was mentally ill at the time. the gunman's attorney says his client didn't really mean to kill the boy. the office of the top lawyer in the irs took part in targeting tea party groups applying for tax exempt status. that's what a former irs official told congressional investigators according to house republicans. there is no word the lawyer himself knew about the targeting. the chief counsel is one of two irs officials the president appoints. now house republicans are demanding more documents from the agency, including white house emails. democrats say there is no evidence the white house took part in the targeting.

they are accusing republicans of cherry picking the information they release. mike emanuel is on capitol hill for us tonight. hello, mike. >> that war of words could lead to it a huge fight tomorrow. house oversight chairman darrell issa and top democrat on the committee elijah cummings continue their very public spat over this irs investigation and they have another hearing tomorrow. as for the cherry picking information charge, here is issa's response. >> we think we have interpreted fairly and we believe tomorrow's hearings are going to show that people who actually had these applications and who worked up and down the chain make it very clear this was not a cincinnati decision. it wasn't just -- not just a washington decision. >> there was also congressional hearing today looking into whether small businesses received extra scrutiny from the irs. the acting commissioner told lawmakers there is no evidence of that but says the irs is still reviewing its procedures. >> now, obviously, we have a lot of clean up to do and

fixes to do in that area. that also, as part of a check and balances, has led to us now revealing all of the various procedures that i have just outlined. we are now doing special, additional reviews to make sure that there is fairness in the entire life cycle. >> the top democrat on the small business committee then offered this suggestion. >> it is my hope we can move past the substance that the irs politically target certain small firms ion tonstead have a ensure small businesses are not unfairly harmed by [inaudible] auditing. >> perhaps the end of the small business aspect but no signs the irs investigation is anywhere close to ending. shep? >> shepard: mike, the acting commissioner says the irs has documents that show it also targeted progressive groups. but the inspector general is refusing to turn over those documents to congress because of privacy concerns. the inspector general is

set to testify at tomorrow's hearing. well, days after the crash of asiana airlines flight 214 in san francisco, the airline announced plans to sue a television station. after that station aired offensive and incorrect names for the pilot. now the carrier is dropping that lawsuit. we will show you why. plus, the new tool that one doctor says can quickly detect cancer without sending any samples to a lab. the details on how it works and what it could mean for patients. coming up from the journalists of fox news on this wednesday fox report. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you cabe more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications,

>> shepard: within just the past hour the house of representatives passed two bills that would delay key components of the president's controversial healthcare law. one is the employer mandate which forces businesses to give their employees health insurance or pay a fine. the other, the individual mandate which forces americans without employer provided coverage to buy health insurance or also face a fine. those bills now move on to the senate. the white house says the president will veto the measures if they reach his desk. though that is very questionable. and tomorrow president obama will deliver remarks on his signature healthcare law according to the white house, the president will play up its benefits saying the average american family

will save about 100 bucks. all this comes as an advocacy group reports that nearly 80% of the nation's medical bills contain some sort of error. the fox business network's gerri willis is here to explain. what are the most common mistakes? >> there are a lot of them, duplicate billing, billing for services you never received. charges for work that was never executed. you name it, they come up with ways to do that. they will deny bills if you don't have the right address for your ensurer on them. we saw one of those tonight on my show. >> shepard: what you can do if you are a victim of this and it sounds like a lot of people are. >> a lot of people are, 80%. read that bill. it can be tough. the devil is in the details. what you look for is what is called the cpt coding. this is really technical. five digits explain every kind of service, test, operation everything you can possibly get. these codes are maintained by the american medical association. you can go to their web site to detoday the codes. make sure those codes on your statement match what

healthy. if it reads red, it's cancerous are. surgeons currently have to send tissue samples to labs and then wait for results, sometimes for a long time. price tag for this smart knife, nearly $400,000. but scientists say it would likely drop if it catches on. 366 marathons in 365 days. imagine it. a mother of two did exactly that. three years after doctors diagnosed her with multiple sclerosis. she says she fell in love with running after she finished her first marathon back in 2010 and last summer she decided to step her game up, running a marathon every day of the week and a double marathon this past sunday on day 365. that's more than 9500 miles in total, which would get from you maine all the way around the united states to michigan. running that far. i can't even drive that today on "studio b" the denmark native told us how

of this magnitude gathering information involving a large number of people involved with telephone companies and so on could be indefinitely kept secret from the american people? >> well, we tried. >> i understand. >> and good let threatened to reverse the authorization that makes the spying possible. the congressional anger crosses party lines. listen. >> i feel very uncomfortable about using aggregated metadata on hundreds of millions of americans. this is unsustainable. it's outrageous. and, must be stopped immediately. >> conyers says the program could very well be a violation of the fourth amendment. shep? >> shepard: it certainly okay how in the world did government officials defend themselves on this? >> well, they didn't defend themselves very well though they tried. they insisted the spying helps keep america safe.

one government official acknowledges the whole program may need to be evaluated? in the intelligence community we try very hard to keep in mind both the protection of the national security and the privacy and constitutional rights of americans. we think we have struck that balance in the right place. but if the people in the congress determine that we struck that balance in the wrong place, that is a discussion that we need to have. >> and there was discussion today of having the phone companies keep customers' records longer instead of giving them to the government. shep? >> shepard: steve centanni in d.c. police can now use license plate cameras to track millions upon millions of americans, criminal suspects or not, and track them for months or even years. that's the word today from the american civil liberties union. it reports that those cameras can now identify cars almost instantly to compare them against hot lists of vehicles linked to crimes. but, according to the aclu and others, some police departments keep that information for months or even longer for cars with
